CHALLENGE: The dropped charges of alleged sex abuse by Cliff Richard have been challenged

Investigations were made over allegations that the 75-year-old star abused four men between 1958 and 1983.

The Crown Prosecution Service confirmed that yet another challenge had been brought against the dropped charges.

But an application under the victims' right to review scheme was lodged by an accuser in August.

ALLEGATIONS: Four men have made claims against the star

“I have always maintained my innocence”

Sir Cliff Richard

The process allows an alleged victim to challenge a decision within three months of its announcement.

Officers investigating the historical sex offences were filmed searching his apartment in Berkshire in 2014.

He was publicly named as the subject of the probe.

After the investigation was first closed in June, Sir Cliff Richard said: ”I have always maintained my innocence, co-operated fully with the investigation, and cannot understand why it has taken so long to get to this point.”

"Nevertheless, I am obviously thrilled that the vile accusations and the resulting investigation have finally been brought to a close."
